Koulun penkkiä ei kannata kuluttaa saati uraa rakentaa, mikäli aikoo ehtiä nauttimaan elämästä! Tämä ainakin on Montyn (RYAN REYNOLDS) elämänfilosofia ja kaveri on täysin tyytyväinen tarjoilijan hommiin, joita on piisannut aina high schoolin päättymisestä lähtien. No joo, eihän tarjoilijat miljoonia tienaa, mutta Monty tietää että hänellä on silti asiat harvinaisen hyvin – hänen työpaikkansa on ravintola Shenanigan, missä mitä tahansa voi tapahtua ja usein tapahtuukin. Siviilissä Monty on väsymätön bilettäjä, jonka kunto pysyy kovana tyttöjen perässä juostessa – mutta työpaikalla pelataan erilaista peliä henkilökunnan kesken. Ja se peli sopii sekä pelimiehille että -naisille... (Nordisk Film Fin.)

There are a couple of funny moments, but the unfunny distastefulness and obscenity is overwhelming. (I had to watch it for English at school – the topic of food and drink – I would have never watched it myself).

This "generation statement" film, shot in the spirit of toilet humor comedies (which, truth be told, seems somewhat out of place here), portrays people who have nothing left and struggle daily with the mundane problems of a fast-food restaurant. However, the notion of it being a genuine statement is meant with heavy irony. Unfortunately, the debut director McKittrick's strategy of pushing the pedal to the metal and serving one joke after another, most of which lack humor and are instead wrapped in awkwardness, did not pay off. The film is mind-numbingly dull and the cadence of nastiness per minute of film action is deadly. While it's quite normal to see Justin Long, Anna Faris, and Ryan Reynolds in such a film, the fact that even Luis Guzmán's performance in the film is awkward or forced is a prime example of the decline of his acting prowess. The only lesson to be learned here is that after watching this film, it's better to wander the streets hungry than to go for a medium-sized steak at a fast-food joint.

Waiting... is a comedy in which most of the humour is built on the disgusting and fecal things around food preparation and the dirty words of the restaurant staff, so it's not the most intelligent type of humour there is, but I still laughed sometimes, I have to admit. In short, a silly and in every possible way simple film that I'm sure will make some people rethink their behaviour towards restaurant staff after watching it.

A surprisingly very good and funny comedy following a bunch of restaurant employees from the boss, to the chefs, to the waiters. It has great and spot-on humour, it takes on the whole restaurant work, serves a heap of gags, wisecracks and feels quite fresh and engaging. It features revenge from the staff and "food enhancement" towards the customers who are annoying assholes, perverse humour and the familiar acting faces improve the overall feel. It does fall off a bit towards the end and doesn't know how to wrap itself up, but otherwise it's a perfectly enjoyable comedy.

I'm no puritan or moralist – I found a lot of the dialogue hilarious, and I’m not going to give the movie less than a three. But the fact is that the ratio of good and not-so-good jokes here is about fifty-fifty. The movie also has a great cast, so voilà! a slightly above-average rating.
